Choose Materials Wisely

There are many different types of yarn materials to be used for making knitted cushions. Yarn material can come from wool, cotton, or a mixture of other materials. The type of material you choose will determine how long the cushions will last, how well they will hold their shape after washing, since different yarn shrink at different degrees after washing, as well as how you will care for the cushion; whether you will need to use warm water or other detergents to clean the cushion.

Choose colors wisely

Choose Cushion Insert Wisely
